1(146) Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.
1A praise psalm by David. I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever.
2While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
2Every day I will praise you. I will extol your name forever and ever.
3Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.
3Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.
4His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.
4One generation will commend your works to another, and will declare your mighty acts.
5Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
5I will meditate on the glorious majesty of your honor, on your wondrous works.
6who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:
6Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts. I will declare your greatness.
7who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:
7They will utter the memory of your great goodness, and will sing of your righteousness.
8the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;
8Yahweh is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.
9he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.
9Yahweh is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.
10The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] your God, O Sion, to all generations.
10All your works will give thanks to you, Yahweh. Your saints will extol you.
